Works decently, but could be improved in two ways:
1: It lacks torque. I found that it couldn’t turn threadlocked or rusted fasteners, even after I manually broke them loose. A more powerful motor would be nice.
2: The manual drive clutch slips occasionally. This can be temporarily resolved by giving the tool a whack.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the Rechargeable 4V Screwdriver with one specific project in mind, the removal of a large number of small screws in the overhead of my patio, which required much continual vertical stretching to reach. After a couple of tries, I found it particularly useful to start the loosening process in the conventional screwdriver mode and then shift to the power mode to quickly finish the process. It easily handled the removal of a couple of hundred small screws. Since completing that job, I have used it on several different occasions, and found it extremely versatile and easy to use. The compact storage case and bit holder is a definite plus.
The Skil 4V rechargeable screwdriver performs excellently and saves my wrist. It is very compact and easy to handle. The ability to drive or remove screws simply by twisting left or right is a great convenience. The light helps me see what I am screwing. As a 4V screwdriver, it does not have a lot of torque, but it handles light screwing and makes the final tightening easier, since the screw is stable for the final seating. It does exactly what is expected and is very easy to hold and handle.
